The Andean city of Cusco (also Cusco or Qosq’o in the Quechua language) is the uneasy bearer of many grand titles. It was once the foremost city of the Inca Empire, and is now the undisputed archaeological capital of the Americas and one of the continent's biggest tourist destinations. It was declared a World Heritage Site in 1983 by UNESCO. In this magic city you will see on the massive stone walls of Incan Koricancha temple towers a Catholic Church, and in the city center sumptuous colonial buildings stand on top of Inca foundations. Each house and each stone in the historical center of Cusco tells the story of the Incas' ancient civilization and their repression by the Spanish conquerors. It takes just a short stroll for this city's rich history to cast its spell on you. Cusco is the starting point for tours to Machu Picchu and the holy valley of the Incas. Its altitude is around 3,300 m (11,000 ft).
